Northern Star Investment Corp. III (NYSE:NSTC) and Northern Star Investment Corp. IV (NYSE:NSTD) announced this morning that each has come to identical non-redemption agreements with shareholders.
Each agreement secures 250,000 shares from redemption for its respective SPAC. In exchange, those investors are to receive 62,500 promote shares (0.6%). The SPACs stated they do not believe the moves will boost the vote at their upcoming special meetings, but will keep more cash in the trust for now.
